Field Notes

Description:

These cardinalfish were outside of their cave in the middle of the day because a moray eel had moved into it.
Cardinalfish have huge mouths, so big in fact they can swallow their newly born children (about 40 eggs) and let them grow up in their cheeks.
Normanby Island, Frankland Islands, Cairns
